I'm bad at keeping things minimal. I tried making a tech trancey thing but ended up chord progressifying it and adding too many layers. Somehow feels sloppily done, too. But I like where it went.
This is titled as such because I mostly worked on this late at night as a sleepyhead.
It makes it easier to manage. Like synths, I think of percussion as a set of layers. If I want to remove or add a hat without removing the snare, then all I have to do is remove or add a layer. It means that I don't have to have a pattern for every combination.
cuz you know, if each layer is either on or off, then I only need ceiling(log2(n)) bits to be able to represent n possible states. So 8 layers only needs 8 tracks, but to have each one in a pattern would take 256 patterns.
